Clinton Camp Memo on Obama Expectations (He Must Win all 4 States or She Stays In)
Time Magazine ^ | February 29 2008 | Time Magazine

Clinton campaign memo highlights Obama’s winning-streak momentum, ad outspending in Texas, Ohio, Vermont and Rhode Island, says if he can’t win all four, then the message that Democrats are “having second thoughts” is clear. Read it here.

To: Interested Parties

From: The Clinton Campaign

Date: Friday, February 29, 2008

RE: Obama Must-Wins

The media has anointed Barack Obama the presumptive nominee and he’s playing the part.

With an eleven state winning streak coming out of February, Senator Obama is riding a surge of momentum that has enabled him to pour unprecedented resources into Texas, Ohio, Rhode Island and Vermont.

The Obama campaign and its allies are outspending us two to one in paid media and have sent more staff into the March 4 states. In fact, when all is totaled, Senator Obama and his allies have outspent Senator Clinton by a margin of $18.4 million to $9.2 million on advertising in the four states that are voting next Tuesday.

Senator Obama has campaigned hard in these states. He has spent time meeting editorial boards, courting endorsers, holding rallies, and - of course - making speeches.

If he cannot win all of these states with all this effort, there’s a problem.

Should Senator Obama fail to score decisive victories with all of the resources and effort he is bringing to bear, the message will be clear:

Democrats, the majority of whom have favored Hillary in the primary contests held to date, have their doubts about Senator Obama and are having second thoughts about him as a prospective standard-bearer.

Lets hope that she wins two and he wins two states.

Then, they can continue to rip each other to shreds and release the secrets they have on each other.

When enemies get into mortal combat, we win.

Yes, Hillary, stay in. Put the final nail in the Clinton Machine coffin. Drag your party through the mud all the way to Denver. We conservatives are laying in a big supply of popcorn.

Yeah, losses in Ohio and Texas won’t doom her. A slim Hillary victory in lesbian-heavy Vermont will certainly highlight the strength of her candidacy.

Warning:

Socialism may lead to dependency weakening of the definitions of marriage and morality, job loss, corruption and the abnormal growth of left wing corporations Tax payers and voters should avoid taking socialism with democracy as it may dilute the overall health of the economy. Those addicted to socialism should seek professional help.

Exactly- even if Obama does win all four states next Tuesday, Hillary will not simply go away.

If we thought Al Gore was insanley deluded by refusing to accept reality when he got stomped in 2000, we aint seen nuthin yet.

Hillary will keep on rising up like a horror movie monster.
